Table 3-3 IP Network Device Setting Options

Option Description

Device Name By default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC Address. Honeywell

recommends, for security, that you change the device name.

IP Address The IP address of the device on the network.The camera obtains an IP address

by static or dynamic (automatic) means. There are two ways: Dynamic
(DHCP/APIPA), which is automatically assigned by the network administrator, or
Static (static), which is assigned by the user.

Subnet Mask The subnet mask, or netmask, value of the device on the network. IP networks

can be divided into several smaller networks by subnetting. When a network is
subnetted, you must specify a subnet mask, which tells network devices which
smaller network they belong to.

Note If the subnet mask is not properly configured, the camera might not be

able to communicate with other devices on the network.

32

Default Gateway The default gateway address that connects the device to the network. Enter the

IP address of the host to use as a gateway between networks. The gateway
allows communication between devices that are on different networks. Without a
correct gateway setting, the camera cannot receive or transmit data from or to
devices that are not in the same network address range.

MAC Address The MAC address is a factory-assigned address that is unique for each device.

Configuring Video Motion Detection

For motion detection, an Administrator can enable and configure up to 5 zones within a
scene. The enabled and configured zones will be monitored for motion.

1. Click the Video Analytics tab in the web client user interface.

2. Click the Region drop-down menu in the Video Motion Detection pane, then select a
region from the five available.

3. Click the VMD drop-down arrow, and select Enable.

The Regions appear in their default positions.

4. Click and drag the box to resize and place it over the camera image.

This box is the region of interest.

5. Select the sensitivity level: 30% (most sensitive), 50% (medium sensitivity), or 80%
(least sensitive).

We recommend that you use the medium sensitivity at 50% as the initial setting. It can
be further adjusted as explained in Fine Tuning Video Motion Detection on page 75.

6. Click Apply.

74

HCD5 equIP® Series True Day/Night Network Box Camera Reference Guide

Note To ensure that the VMD settings have been applied, click onto another tab, and

then back onto the Video Settings tab. Check the VMD settings for the changes
you made.

Note To disable a zone, click the VMD drop-down menu, then select Disable.

Fine Tuning Video Motion Detection

For best results, the VMD configuration has to be adjusted to match the camera field of
view, regions of interest and other factors.

1. Identify areas in the image where motion detection alarms should be triggered.

In some applications, motion anywhere in the image needs to be reported. In other
applications, users only want to monitor specific areas such as doors, parking lot
entrances, or other areas of interest.

2. Select one of the five available regions for each area of interest, and draw the
region-of-interest box for that region to fully cover the area of interest.

Note The camera only measures motion inside the drawn region-of-interest box. So a

person or vehicle moving along the boundary of the box may or may not trigger
an alarm, because their motion will only be evaluated partially. It is therefore
important to adjust the region-of-interest boxes to fully cover the areas of interest.

In cameras with a wide field of view, or when activity happens far away from the
camera, people and vehicles might appear rather small in the image. In such cases, it
might not be possible to apply a single area of interest to the whole field of view and
reliably detect motion. In such cases, it is recommended to cover the camera view
with multiple, smaller region-of-interest boxes, and to concentrate on areas where
motion alarms are of most interest to the user, such as entrances, restricted access
areas, etc.

3. Use the medium sensitivity at 50% as the initial setting. It can be further adjusted as
explained below.

Note Observe VMD performance in all expected lighting conditions after the initial

configuration is applied. Ensure that relevant scene motion triggers alarms and
ensure that the camera is not reporting false alarms (such as VMD alarms
triggered due to image noise).

Document 800-07067V5 Rev A 75
07/2013

IP Camera Web Client

Increasing VMD sensitivity

If relevant scene motion does not trigger VMD alarms, the following adjustments will
increase VMD sensitivity:

• Decreasing the sensitivity level from 80% to 50%, or from 50% to 30%. This change
will cause smaller objects to trigger alarms and it will also require smaller contrast
level to report and alarm. This should be the primary adjustment mechanism.

• Reducing the size of the region-of-interest box (and adding more regions if needed).
This adjustment will cause smaller objects to also trigger VMD alarms.

Note After VMD sensitivity is increased, observe the performance in other lighting

conditions in case further tuning is required to prevent false alarms.

Decreasing VMD sensitivity

If VMD alarms are triggered even when there is no motion and no large changes in the
video, the following adjustments will decrease VMD sensitivity:

• Increasing the sensitivity level from 30% to 50%, or from 50% to 80%. This should be
the primary adjustment mechanism, because it increases the required contrast level
(or amount of noise) required to trigger an alarm. Higher sensitivity levels also require
larger amount of motion to be observed before a VMD alarm is triggered.

• Increasing the size of the region-of-interest box. This adjustment will prevent smaller
objects (or smaller areas of noise) from triggering VMD alarms.

VMD configuration examples

These examples are provided only for illustration. Other factors such as lighting level,
contrast, and image noise may affect VMD performance and may require tuning
adjustments as described above.

Normal Field of View

In a normal field of view, with a person walking in front of the camera, the maximum
recommended region-of-interest box sizes would be as shown by the red boxes in

Figure 4-34, Figure 4-35, and Figure 4-36.

Note Outdoor scenes are shown in the following examples. HCD5 cameras are

outdoor cameras only when used with the appropriate environmental
housing.

For cameras with a wide-angle field of view covering a large outdoor scene, people who
walk far away from the camera might appear rather small in the image. If motion needs to
be detected in the entire field of view, the following region-of-interest box configuration is
recommended:

• Three smaller boxes, set to 30% sensitivity, covering the upper portion of the image
where people appear small.

• Two larger boxes, set to 50% sensitivity, covering the lower portion of the image
where objects appear larger.

Glossary

AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Video Amplifier in a camera that boosts the amount of

video gain (including the noise) to maintain a 1V p-p (1-volt peak-to-peak) video signal
output. It becomes operational when the light level is low. The circuit is designed to
compensate for fluctuations in scene illumination which would cause the video output
level to be too low. If the video level (scene illumination) is adequate, the circuit does not
apply any gain to the signal. As the video level falls, more gain is applied by the AGC
circuit to the video signal.

ALC (Automatic Light Compensation) Setting in an Auto Iris lens to control the iris

opening.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Allows a server to dynamically assign

IP addresses to nodes (workstations) automatically. Provides client information including
subnetwork mask, gateway address, and DNS (Domain Address Server) addresses.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) Reduces the appearance of noise in low-light

conditions.

DSS (Digital Slow Shutter) Improves picture quality (brightness) in low-light scenes.

DSS might introduce motion blur. The higher the DSS setting, the more likely motion blur
will occur.

ELC (Electronic Light Control) Typically used with manual iris lenses. The image

brightness is controlled electronically by the camera through automatically adjusting
shutter speed for a properly exposed picture.

Flickerless Eliminates the “flicker” that can appear in an image under certain lighting

conditions (for example, fluorescent lighting). This is usually caused by the interaction of
the shutter with the AC frequency of the lighting.

FOV (Field of View) The part of the scene visible with a particular lens. The height

(horizontal) and width (vertical) picture size at a given distance that can be seen through
a lens. Generally, shorter focal length lenses have a wider field of view than those with
longer focal lengths.

Gain The amplification a system provides to a signal.

IP Address A unique, 32-bit identifier for a specific TCP/IP host computer on a network.

Iris Adjust Adjusts the iris to either open or close in response to changing light

conditions.

NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) A standard of specifications for

television transmission in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Central American, and half of South
America. The North American system uses interlaced scans and 525 horizontal lines per
frame at 30 frames per second.

Document 800-07067V5 Rev A 97

Glossary

PAL (Phase Alternate Line) A standard of specifications for television transmission for

color TV signals used in West Germany, England, Holland, Australia, and several other
countries. It uses an interlaced format with 625 lines per frame at 25 frames per second.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) A method of powering Ethernet-connected devices via the

Ethernet cabling as defined in the IEEE 802.3af standard.

Shutter Speed The speed at which the charge is read out from the imager chip. Adjusts

the light sensitivity of the camera. A faster (briefer) shutter speed can arrest the motion of a
fast moving object (reduce image blur), rendering it sharp. Fast shutter speeds allow less
light to all on the CCD and can darken the image. For fast shutter speeds, ensure there is
adequate lighting. Usually selected using DIP switches on the side of the camera.

Subnet Mask A number used to identify a subnetwork so that an IP address can be shared

on a LAN.

True Day/Night The incorporation of a moving mechanical IR filter within the camera

ensures true 24 hour surveillance, providing high quality color images during the day and
similar quality black & white images at night when used with IR lighting.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) These are power supplies used in the majority of

high security systems, whose purpose is to back up the system when the main power fails.
